Just ten minutes until kick-off now at Stamford Bridge. A highly anticipated fixture for both clubs, and an especially important game for Jose Mourinho as he faces his old side. 

This match carries all of the ingredients that we need for a traditionally brilliant Super Sunday fixture. You wont want to miss this one.

Can the Blues spoil Jose's return? We'll see.

The players are making their way onto the pitch. The stage is set.

Jose looks traditionally calm and confident as he gets a warm welcome on his return to the stadium.

Just minutes to go now, don't go anywhere...

GOAL

CHELSEA 1 - 0 MANCHESTER UNITED

Would you believe it? An extraordinary start for the Blues! United were caught out and Pedro makes the most of a lost De Gea as he skips past him and buries it in the back of the net in just 30 seconds.

Daley Blind lost his runner and against an opposition of such class - a mistake like this will usually prove costly and here they have paid the price.

Well, Mourinho's are just one minute in and already have a mountain to climb.

Game on...

Moses is doing well so far as the United side are struggling to deal with his immense speed and strength combination. Chelsea are working well, but Mourinho's men are exploiting weakness in the final third. 

Corner kick United.

GOAL

CHELSEA 2 - 0 MANCHESTER UNITED

Cahill has doubled the home side's tally with a volley from inside of the six yard box, following a corner kick. Blind tries to get acros and block it, but he can't. That's poor marking from United, but nonetheless - a good finish from the defender.

Mourinho's return is appearing to be anything but special, at the moment... 

Momentum is highly in the home sides favour now and United will have to be more careful that they don't get caught out again.
